Ezekiel 47:1-5
1Then he broughtH7725 me backH7725 to the 1doorH6607 of the houseH1004; and beholdH2009, 2waterH4325 was flowingH3318 from underH8478 the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004 toward the eastH6921, for the houseH1004 facedH6440 eastH6921. And the waterH4325 was flowingH3381 downH3381 from underH8478, from the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004, from southH5045 of the altarH4196. 2And he broughtH3318 me outH3318 by wayH1870 of the northH6828 gateH8179 and ledH5437 me aroundH5437 3on the outsideH2351 to the outerH2351 gateH8179, by the wayH1870 facingH6437 eastH6921. And beholdH2009, waterH4325 was spurtingH6379 outH6379 from the southH3233 sideH3802.
3When the manH376 wentH3318 outH3318 toward the eastH6921 with a lineH6957 in his handH3027, he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 4cubitsH520, and he ledH5674 me through the waterH4325, waterH4325 reaching the anklesH658. 4Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 and ledH5674 me through the waterH4325, waterH4325 reaching the kneesH1290. Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 and ledH5674 me through the water, waterH4325 reaching the 5hipsH4975. 5Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505; and it was a riverH5158 that I couldH3201 not 6wadeH5674 acrossH5674, becauseH3588 the waterH4325 had risenH1342, enough waterH4325 to swimH7813 in, a 7riverH5158 that could not be crossedH5674 by wading.
